Well, the Service Manual calls it a door remote. Both of mine have this spring like piece of metal wrapped around the shaft (see where the arrow is pointing?). This spring is just sitting there, loose.

Is it supposed to act like a real spring and provide some tension when you pull on the door handle? Am I looking to order new door remotes to replace these broken ones, or is this how they should be?

Thanks,
